Flicks You Picked!!! Box Office Rankings From The Weekend…

Leonard DiCaprio’s The Great Gatsby had one helluva debut this weekend, but it wasn’t enough to dethrone Iron Man 3, which takes #1 at the weekend box office for second straight weekend.

The new Iron Man film took in $72.4 million this weekend to bring its two week total to $284 million domestically. It has far surpassed the franchise best of $624 million worldwide for Iron Man 2.

The Great Gatsby partied like it was the Roaring ’20s with a $51.1 million debut, finishing at #2. In it, DiCaprio stars in the title role as 1920s mystery millionaire Jay Gatsby, while Carey Mulligan co-stars as his lost love and Tobey Maguire as the friend chronicling their doomed romance.

Pain and Gain fell to #3 with $5 million; and 42 closes out the top 5 with $4.6 million.

The weekend’s other new wide release, Lionsgate’s romantic comedy Peeples, flopped at #4 with just $4.9 million. Produced by Tyler Perry, the movie stars Craig Robinson and Kerry Washington in a meet-the-parents-style farce.
